July 4, 1776. The date that Congress approved of and adopted the written Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Many believe that it should be July 2, 1776, because that's when the Declaration of Independence was adopted by a voice vote.
When was the Declaration of Independence signed into effect?
If one means the formal pronouncement by the Continental Congress that the colonies are independent, then it is July 2, 1776, when a voice vote was taken on declaring independence. If one means the document itself, then it would be July 4, 1776, when the written document was approved by all delegates and John Hancock and Charles Thomson signed it to authenticate it as a pronouncement of the Congress so it could be printed and distributed to the states and armies. The copy with the 56 signers names did nothing to alter or confirm either the July 2 vote or the July 4 adoption of the document.

Actual independence was declared by the Second Continental Congress on July 2, 1776. On that date, a resolution to declare independence from Great Britain was passed by a voice vote. The journals of the Second Continental Congress record this vote. The written Declaration was then authorized in order to make it known to the world that the colonies had declared their independence and give the reasons for doing so.

He was off by two days even though he was actually correct.

What is a good title for an essay about the American revolution?
There are many good titles for all sorts of different articles. I think my favorite would be "What Did Not Happen on the Fourth of July, 1776?" The answer is two things. Congress did not declare independence and the document was not signed on that date. In fact, the document that has the 56 signatures was not even in existence on the Fourth. The Second Continental Congress declared independence by voice vote on July 2, 1776, not July 4th. The resolution and vote for independence is right there in the Congressional Journal on July 2. On July 4th, Thomas Jefferson finished the first draft of the proposed Declaration and the members of Congress edited it down to its present form. That final form was read into the journal of the Congress on July 4th, then handwritten without the crossouts and insertions and sent to a printer. Only John Hancock and Charles Thomson signed it on that date. On July 19, 1776, Congress ordered that an engrossed copy be made on parchment and signed by all members of Congress. A new document was made and most, but not all, of the 56 signers signed it on August 2, 1776. Even John Adams considered July 2, 1776 as Independence day and in a letter to his wife Abigail said that theday of July 2, 1776 will henceforth be celebrated for the country's independence.
